Poole, Purbeck and District Soroptimists meet at 19:30 on the 2nd Monday of each month, excepting when this falls on a bank holiday, in which case we find an alternative date.
Our meeting venue is Christ Church, 28 Northmead Drive, Poole BH17 7XZ. There is ample well-lit parking adjacent.
At all meetings, we discuss projects in-hand and organise upcoming events. On alternate months, we have the pleasure of welcoming a speaker on topics that are related to a particular theme or our project work.
Guests are welcome to join us at any time. Please email sipoole@btinternet.com
